London: Sands & Co., 1901 8vo. xi,278pp. 12 illustrations on plates, plan of Kumasi, folding map, index. The Ashanti war of 1900 was a seemingly fantastic tale of British pluck, sang-friod and heroism against a determined, dangerous and barbarous foe. Coming at a time when the Boer War wasn’t going very well, this escapade helped to bolster the public belief in the armed forces of the Empire. As often, the truth itself was somewhat different. Governor Frederick Hodgson was sent to Kumasi in February 1900 where he foolishly demanded the ‘Golden Stool’, the symbol of Ashanti sovereignty, which supposedly had been hidden in the bush. Hodgson sent a party led by Captain Armitage into the bush to search for it, thereby provoking the Ashanti into an uprising. The 750 African soldiers and 29 Europeans were besieged inside the fort at Kumasi. Written in two parts, ‘The Siege of Kumasi’, by Captain Armitage and ‘The Relief of Kumasi’ by Lieutenant Colonel Montanaro. A fascinating account of the siege and the subsequent relief party under Lieutenant-Colonel Montanaro. Cecil Hamilton Armitage (1869-1933) entered the Gold Coast colonial service as Assistant Inspector, Gold Coast Constabulary in 1894 and took part in the earlier Ashanti war of 1895-96. Arthur Forbes Montanaro (1862-1914), of the Royal Artillery, led the force which eventually raised the siege. Spine darkened and rubbed slightly at head and tail, with gilt lettering to spine and upper board, a nice copy in the publisher’s red cloth.
